In the early morning of the next day, Song Yao went to check the shrimp paste she made, and the yard that was set out separately was used as a small workshop.

Of course, Song Yao was more afraid that someone would do something in these condiments.

"Madam, the God of Food Contest is only a few days away, why don't you see the dishes that Madame is preparing for the competition?" Red Sleeves followed Song Yao's side, learning every step of making shrimp paste, and following up on the inspection.

"Don't worry, if I don't even have the ability to advance to the preliminary round, why do I need to participate in this competition?" Song Yao chuckled, her eyes full of confidence.

In fact, all the contestants are eligible to be promoted, as long as the cooking skills are really online, the first round can be directly promoted, after all, the purpose of many people to participate in the preliminary round is for the ten taels of silver reward.

Tasting a bite of the final vat of shrimp paste, Song Yao frowned slightly and said: "The weather is still too cold, this batch of shrimp paste still needs to be left for a while before it can be flavored, and when the finals of the competition come, you can add new dishes to the restaurant." ”

"Madame is naturally suitable for business, as long as Madame achieves results in the competition, this shrimp paste will be spread, and there is no need to spend manpower and material resources to publicize, I am afraid that it will be sold in limited quantities." Red Sleeves has eaten dishes and soups made with shrimp paste, and he likes the taste very much, and he can predict how many customers the restaurant will attract when it is sold.

"In another half a year, you can make shrimp paste and shrimp paste bricks on a large scale, and then sell those big families to make seasonings, and the circulation in the market will be postponed in advance." Taking the handkerchief handed over by Red Sleeves, Song Yao wiped the corners of her mouth and said with a light smile: "Red Sleeves, Ming'er will accompany me to see the house and add some more manpower." Our workshop, don't use your own people, but don't worry, I still expect to earn two years of good silver. ”

"If Madame needs to use people, it is best to let them go to a nearby town in Qinghai to buy it, I am afraid that Madame has been too famous recently, and someone will want to put eyeliner in." Red Sleeves said worriedly.

"What you said makes sense, then it's better to work hard for them to run errands." Song Yao didn't have any doubts, it would be good to spend less effort.

The master and servant checked the shrimp sauce jar one by one to see if it was closed, and it took some effort.

When the two of them left the small courtyard, the subordinate who was waiting at the door reported: "Madam, the young master has invited a guest to come over, and then wait in the hall." ”

"This kid is really urgent." Song Yao chuckled, thinking that the housekeeper from the antique shop came to the door, so he said: "I'll go and change my clothes, you go to the hall to spread a word, let the young master entertain the guests, and change the tea and snacks into good ones, don't neglect the guests." ”

Not to mention Song Yao going to change clothes, the atmosphere in the Xiao Mansion for the past two days was very weird.

Xiao Jinsu has been a little nervous since she returned home on the day of the Lantern Festival, always feeling that someone is secretly staring at her, and she has to stay by the bed every night, and she has to hold her hand to dare to take a nap, and she has never slept in the past few days.

Poor rest made Xiao Jinsu's temper even greater, and the people in the house were afraid of getting close to Xiao Jinsu, and Cui Yu was even tortured and could doze off when she walked.

I don't know if the atmosphere is too tense, the people in the house have been shouting that it is haunted these days, and Xiao Jinsu was even more frightened to make an exception to allow her despised husband to enter the room to accompany her, and she didn't dare to leave for a moment.

"Miss, the concubine ordered someone to send such a heavy dowry, she must still have Miss in mind, or let's pack our bags and go back to the capital to live." Cui Yu was dark and green at the moment, and she didn't dare to pronounce normally when she spoke, for fear that something unclean would hear it, and then follow them to the capital.

"You know what! My aunt has abandoned me, and although the dowry is heavy, it is prepared in my aunt's name, and although my aunt will still be my backer, she will not allow me to return to the capital, otherwise she will send someone to pick me up, instead of sending me all my use. "Xiao Jinsu was brought up by Concubine Duangui in the end, and he knows this aunt's style very well.

"Could it be that Miss is overthinking?" Cui Yu asked very unconfidently, she also had this understanding in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it.

"Don't say that if I marry in such a hurry, my aunt will be unhappy, it's my cousin's ......" Xiao Jinsu paused for a moment, glared at Wang Tie fiercely, and was very disgusted with this man who had to marry, "I just got married, if I go back to Beijing alone, I will inevitably be speculated and criticized for no reason, but how can his appearance be brought to the capital?" I don't want to be laughed at by those young ladies in the capital, I can't hold my head up in my life! ”

Wang Tie shrank his head in a glare, took a few steps back, and tried to hide himself in the corner of the wall to prevent Xiao Jinsu from seeing him.

There was anger but there was no place to vent, Xiao Jin angrily dropped a set of tea sets, which relieved his heart.

"Cui Yu, you go to the mage to come to the house, if you continue to make trouble like this, I must be crazy." Xiao Jinsu grabbed the Jinpa, held his forehead and said: "Don't be reluctant to spend money, invite the most famous mage to come over, the sooner the better." ”

"Yes, miss." Cui Yu responded, she didn't want to invite a mage, but she didn't dare to mention it.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Jinsu shouted, bit his lip and asked, "Find a way to check, how is Hong Qi now, has that Song Yao found out, the Lantern Festival is related to me." ”

"The slave knows." Cui Yu retreated, not daring to say that she couldn't find out the news of the Song family at all, all she could find out was circulated in the streets, and she couldn't tell the truth at all.

Inside the Song House.

Qinghai, who was sparring with Qingshan, heard someone whistling in the dark, and jumped to the top of the roof, borrowing his strength to come to the middle of a big tree and communicate with the secret guard.

"Let them toss, let the brother stop for the time being, don't kill that person, wait for the master to send a message." After Qinghai said this, he turned around and landed on the ground, shouting at Qingshan: "Don't fight, I'll go to the kitchen to see what to eat, today's breakfast is not the right appetite." ”

"You take it easy, after all, it's the old lady's niece, in case someone is tossed and lost, it's not easy for the master to explain." Qingshan put away his sword and said in a cold tone.

"I'm doing things, aren't you still at ease? At most, Miss Biao can't sleep at night, who made her move the mind of killing, if someone hadn't ventilated us and reported to us, there would be no big deal on the day of the Lantern Festival, you and my brother would have to take this life, and if I didn't breathe, I would be the one who couldn't sleep. Qinghai said angrily.

Aoyama didn't speak, just walked in the other direction, he was not a picky eater, he would not be hungry.

"I really doubt how my mother gave birth to the two of us, except for the similarity, where can I tell that they are twins!" Qinghai muttered, turned and walked in the direction of the kitchen.
